This scaffolds the full monorepo with RainbowKit as the wallet provider. For just the frontend, add --template frontend.
Environment Setup
Get a WalletConnect Project ID from cloud.walletconnect.com and set it in frontend/.env:
# Base network: "testnet" (Base Sepolia, default) or "mainnet" (Base Mainnet)
NEXT_PUBLIC_NETWORK=testnet
NEXT_PUBLIC_WALLETCONNECT_PROJECT_ID=your_project_id_here
# Your deployed contract address
NEXT_PUBLIC_CONFLOTTERY_ADDRESS=<deployed_contract_address>
Without a Project ID, the template falls back to an injected-wallet-only config (no WalletConnect), so it still runs locally.
Provider Setup
RainbowKit wraps your app with WagmiProvider + RainbowKitProvider. The chain comes from activeChain in lib/network.ts, which follows NEXT_PUBLIC_NETWORK — no per-provider chain edits needed.
"use client";
import { ReactNode, useState, useEffect } from "react";
import { QueryClient, QueryClientProvider } from "@tanstack/react-query";
import { WagmiProvider, createConfig, http } from "wagmi";
import {
getDefaultConfig,
RainbowKitProvider,
darkTheme,
lightTheme,
} from "@rainbow-me/rainbowkit";
import { ThemeProvider, useTheme } from "next-themes";
import { activeChain } from "@/lib/network";
const queryClient = new QueryClient();
const projectId = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_WALLETCONNECT_PROJECT_ID || "";
const config = projectId
? getDefaultConfig({
appName: "inco confidential lottery",
projectId,
chains: [activeChain],
ssr: true,
})
: createConfig({
chains: [activeChain],
transports: {
[activeChain.id]: http(),
},
ssr: true,
});
// Inner provider that uses theme context
const RainbowKitWithTheme = ({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) => {
const { resolvedTheme } = useTheme();
const [mounted, setMounted] = useState(false);
useEffect(() => {
setMounted(true);
}, []);
const rainbowTheme =
mounted && resolvedTheme === "light"
? lightTheme({ accentColor: "#262626", accentColorForeground: "#fafafa", borderRadius: "none" })
: darkTheme({ accentColor: "#d4d4d4", accentColorForeground: "#0a0a0a", borderRadius: "none" });
return (
<RainbowKitProvider theme={rainbowTheme}>{children}</RainbowKitProvider>
);
};
const Providers = ({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) => {
if (!projectId) {
console.warn(
"Missing NEXT_PUBLIC_WALLETCONNECT_PROJECT_ID. Get one at https://cloud.walletconnect.com/"
);
}
return (
<ThemeProvider attribute="class" defaultTheme="dark" enableSystem>
<WagmiProvider config={config}>
<QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>
<RainbowKitWithTheme>{children}</RainbowKitWithTheme>
</QueryClientProvider>
</WagmiProvider>
</ThemeProvider>
);
};
export { Providers };
Provider hierarchy: ThemeProvider → WagmiProvider → QueryClientProvider → RainbowKitProvider
Inco SDK Integration
The Inco SDK works with the walletClient provided by wagmi (which RainbowKit supplies). The network-aware client comes from lib/network.ts:
import { getIncoLightning } from "@/lib/network";
import { handleTypes } from "@inco/lightning-js";
import { useAccount, useWalletClient } from "wagmi";
import { parseEther } from "viem";
const { address } = useAccount();
const { data: walletClient } = useWalletClient();
// Network (Base Sepolia / Mainnet) is selected centrally in lib/network.ts via NEXT_PUBLIC_NETWORK.
const zap = await getIncoLightning();
// Encrypt a value before sending on-chain
const ciphertext = await zap.encrypt(parseEther(amount), {
accountAddress: address,
dappAddress: LOTTERY_ADDRESS,
handleType: handleTypes.euint256,
});
// Decrypt a handle with attestation (e.g. check if the user won)
const [result] = await zap.attestedDecrypt(walletClient, [encryptedHandle]);
const isWinner = result.plaintext.value; // boolean for an ebool handle
